Not-A-Random Girl — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 18:16:14 +0000

I have been blogging for a while now. I also worked for clients that requires creation of new websites. Most of the time, their aim is to make money online by promoting their products.

There’s a stiff competition when it comes to online marketing. Naturally a company would always want their site domain to appear on the first page of Google results if someone searches for keywords related to their niche.

SEO does not have to cost a fortune. Actually, you can search for a free seo tool online. If you are a blogger, your blog would gain more traffic if you apply SEO techniques and this can open a lot of potential money-making opportunity for you.

Reminder – BlueHost Webhosting Account Expires in 60 Days

Not-A-Random Girl — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 11:54:34 +0000

I received a reminder from BlueHost today that my web hosting account with them is set to expire 60 days from now. My membership with them started June of 2008. I am one of their thousands of satisfied customer. I am not exactly sure how many BlueHost subscribers exist, but one thing I am sure of is I am extremely happy with their service and their customer support.

This post serves as a reminder so that I will not forget to renew my account with them.

Be More Organized

As for my blogging activities, it has been a good start for me this year. This blog may not have increased in Google Pagerank during the last update, but some of my blogs have shown a satisfactory increase.

What I promise myself is to be more organized with my blogging activities.I just have to make sure I put reminders in my desktop about the assignments I need to finish. If my online earnings would be steady, I plan to purchase a laptop computer as an ultimate reward at the end of the year.

Renewing My Domains

Not-A-Random Girl — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 18:20:03 +0000

I am sticking with Bluehost for my webhosting needs. I renewed my domains with them a few weeks ago. Although, Bluehost is a little bit more expensive than other hosting providers, I am satisfied with the service they had been giving me for over a year now. Also, their 24/7 customer support is easy to reach and they are really superb.

I don’t have plans to move my blog sto other web hosting providers. That will be such an arduous task. Besides, I am happy with Bluehost. Take note, this post is not some kind of paid promotional ad for them. I’m just glad to say, I have not encountered any major problem with them.

Entrecard

Due to a lot of changes in the Entrecard system the past few times, I decided to slow down with my Entrecard activities. When I heard that a new company has acquired Entrecard and it seems that there are promising improvements with the system, I told myself, why not give it another try.

I was surprised to see I still have more than 10,000 EC credits on my account. I’m wondering where should I allot this credits, I can use it to advetise my blog on other blogs and this should be helpful with my blog exposure.

Waiting for Entrecard Cashout

Not-A-Random Girl — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:08:27 +0000

Whenever I log in to my Entrec ard Dashboard, the firts thing that I would always check is the status of the cashout. If I am not mistaken I applied for cashout more than a week ago, but it still says “Cashout application waiting”. I am just wondering who had been paid at the moment. If you had been paid, feel free to share it here. Cheers!

Here’s something from the EC blog that may give more light to those EC members waiting for their cashout.

Our new community support algorithm is going to determine the priority with which you can cash out your credits. It is also going to eventually help determine your rank in our member directory. The main factors it will take into consideration are:

1. How many cards you drop / how frequently
2. % of paid ads you approve
3. % of Entrecard ads you approve
4. Listings you create / completed sales in the market
5. How many credits you transfer to others (indicative of contests, tips, and generosity)
6. % of credits you spend on Entrecard ads

Entrecard Cashout Application Waiting

Not-A-Random Girl — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 23:10:06 +0000

Finally, the Entrecard cashout service is now up and running. The initial cashout conversion is $1 per thousand credits. You smply have to sign up on your Entrecard account dashboard. Right now, like the other Entrecard members, I am just waiting for a reply from them. Although the initial conversion is not that much, I think it’s better than getting nothing. I just hope there’s still a chance for the conversion to get higher.

Google Page Rank Update

Google Page Rank update took place a few days ago. This blog had been penalized because I had been doing paid post. However, my other blogs had maintained/gained higher page rank. One of my blogs which I haven’t updated for a while gained a PR 1, which is something I did not expect. I would still continue with blogging, maybe not as often as before. But blogging had been an acquired habit which is hard to get rid of.

My Entrecard Dropper

Not-A-Random Girl — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 15:06:01 +0000

Recently, I do not have time to drop EC”s. Thankfully, my little sister volunteered to do the daily dropping of cards for me. The internet connection at home (where my sis lives) is fast, so she does not really have any problem doing the EC drops. She can do it while she updates he Friendster profile. I think that is her ultimate vice. She updates her Friendster like there’s no tomorrow.

So my blogs would be active on Entrecard again.

Entrecard Changes

Not-A-Random Girl — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:34:54 +0000

To my loyal Entrecard droppers, forgive me for not being able to reciprocate at the moment. I haven’t been active for quite some time. Recently, I heard that there are new rules that would be implemented by Entrecard. I wonder if this would attract more members, or drive them away. But looking at the Entrecard blog, it’s a good thing that EC listens to the suggestions of its members before implementing the changes.

Entrecard is Launching a Third Party Ad Network and a Credit Cashout Service

Members would now be able to exchange their credits for cash. I personally think that this is a good thing. EC members spend time and effort to complete their dropping. At least, the time and effort won’t be going to waste if ever they decide to sell their credits to EC.

Entrecard originally requested members to follow the “Above the Fold” rule in order to retain their memberships However, a lot of people were against this rule. So EC now officially changed it to “One Page-down” rule. Also, there would be no more paid fee to reject paid ads. I am just wondering if members would be cooperative enough to approve these paid ads. The money being paid by these advertisers won’t directly go to their pocket. But if they earn credits for this, they can sell it to Entrecard.
